7/11 cups call the election
Apparently 7/11's presidential coffe cup promotion has been accurately predicting the winner for the last three elections.
For the third straight presidential election, 7-Eleven Inc. held a coffee-cup vote. From Oct. 1 through yesterday, coffee drinkers voted for their candidates while deciding between regular or decaf.
Supporters of Republican Sen. John McCain bought red cups and Sen. Barack Obama's faction chose blue ones. Undecided voters could select plain cups.
Obama won handily in the retailer's Richmond market, in Virginia and nationwide.
No stats were offered for those selecting "Undecided" blank cups. I did get a cup o' joe there in a nice blue cup the other day.
